How to Pool Connections

[johnw]

I am trying to set up a pool of Connections in JBoss. I have written an RA that manages connections to a XML/HTTP source. I want to have the app server have 4 connections pooled so that everytime I do a JNDI lookup one of them is returned, right now I get a new connection created everytime. I am using NoTransaction as my transaction support.

This is the JNDI I am using
InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext();
Object ref= iniCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/XConn");
XConnectionFactory xcf = (XConnectionFactory) ref;
xurlconn = (XURLConnection) xcf.getConnection();

Any idea's on what I am doing wrong.

More info, please.

_Always_ exact jboss version

the contents of the deployment configuration for your adapter (*-service.xml for jboss 3.x, snippet from jboss.jcml for jboss 2.4.x)

Also, did you correctly implement sending the connection closed event in your adapter? Are you in fact closing the connection handles in your code?

Hi,

if you use JBoss3RC1, and if you have this problem despite you close everything, it may come from a little bug in NoTxConnectionManager, see

I was not correctly firing the close event in my Managed Connection.
Thanks,
